How To Play Chord Piano...In 10 Days!

 

Pop Piano Playing Simplified"

Man playing piano with music notes

Learning to play "pop" piano consists of three inter-related steps:

  • You learn to read the melody line only (the tune) of sheet music (or a fake book);
  • You learn how to read chord signs and play piano chords;
  • You learn how to create a "rhythm bass" in your left hand with chords. If you thoroughly digest and learn these three steps, you can play most any popular tune ever written from the great standards to the hits of today. Learn to play the piano the "popular" way!

"Super-Chords Made Super-Simple!"

Music notes & staff

     This is the advanced course in piano chords that continues where CP-2 (above) and the "Chord Piano" course leaves off. On this course you'll learn to voice chords in "professional position", so that you can reach extended chords like 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths without having to have huge hands. You'll learn to play piano using all the "super-chords" including the exciting 6/9 chord for a contemporary sound. If you are interested in getting a jazz sound or a fusion sound, then take this course.

"Color Tones"

Musical color tones

     "Get a color tone in every chord!" was the advice I received years ago from Hollywood's top piano teacher. I can still hear his words, and I've tried to live up to his admonition whenever practical. Want to come with me on a musical tour and find out what color tones are and how to use them? Join company with some of the worlds greatest piano players!

Click here for more info on color tones.

 

 

"TurnArounds"

Musical turnarounds

      Turnarounds are chord progressions which you as a piano player use at the end of a phrase to get you launched into the next phrase. You'll learn the I, vi, ii, V7 turnaround (also called the "Cul de Sac" turnaround); the I, flat III, flat II turnaround; and several others you can use in most any song or situation.  If you want to be smooth, better take this course! It's something not one piano player in a hundred knows how to do. (Would you believe one in a thousand?)

"Passing Tones"

Treble clef sign

     Passing tones are those "moving parts" you hear in music -- the flowing current beneath the melody and passing through the chords. They are usually below the melody and move as either single notes or 3rds, but sometimes even in triads. You'll learn how to play the piano using passing tones to make a boring piano chord interesting; to point to the melody, and just add to the flavor of the song. A fairly advanced course, so make sure you know chords well before you take this course.

"Chord Substitutions" 

Treble clef & musical notesPiano keyboard with piano keysTreble clef & musical notes

You thought you knew what chord was coming, but instead, you hear this exciting substitute chord. What are chord substitutions and how do you make them? You'll learn the three methods of creating chord substitutions that will keep you busy creating exciting and surprising sounds for a lifetime! 

     You'll see each technique demonstrated on the DVD video so you can see and understand exactly how to do it. Learn to play piano using thrilling piano chord substitutions!

     Fabulous course! Don't miss it!

"How To Predict Which Chord Comes Next!"

Your future in music

 

     This course is the only course in existence (as far as we know) which shows how to predict with 80% to 90% accuracy (hey -- nobody's perfect!) the next chord to occur in any piece of music!  It's not magic -- it's just knowing some things. To be able to do this you must know "the ladder" and the "prediction chart" -- the two elements that are taught so clearly in this unique, one of a kind course. After taking this course you should be able to predict the next chord in any song with at least 80% accuracy. Think how valuable this could be to you when playing by ear or when improvising with other musicians! (We could put a price tag on this course that would bankrupt small nations, since this is the only thing of its kind in the entire world, as far as we know.)
